I meant the OP. Bit of a sh1tty thread IMO when it’s clearly not true and there’s a high likelihood the person in question might see it. Think people can be a little kinder. |
I think the OP was asking a genuine question in the outset.
If Ben reads the thread (which he has), then he'll see a lot of supportive posts.
Some of the OPs follow up comments were a bit uneccesay though. |  |

Tries far too hard to be neutral in my opinion - this thread won’t go down well either, everytime anyone say’s anything even slightly negative about him on here/social media he can’t help but mention it on the pod.
I only realised a few months ago he’s the lad that was in Rosalita but in the day - different last name to when I met him a few times. [Post edited 31 Aug 23:17]

i think he's very good in trying not to be your average youtube blowhard; they're ten-a-penny, nice to get some more thoughtful balance | |

talking of YouTube blowhards, I had to explain to my Dad who bedsheet Rich was the other day, he had stumbled across one of his YouTube videos and wondered if it was a parody. | | | |

Because he gets paid by YouTube to cover the championship | | | |

Is he? Just had a look at his independent channel, most the views are below 10k, quick scan and I can’t see any ads on the videos, so I assume YouTube themselves aren’t actually paying him much, if anything - it’ll be sponsors etc keeping it afloat I assume.
Most creators I work with who get get paid from YouTube need at least 100k subs before it’s any kind of real money, he’s well on the way with 50k, neat that he’s managed to get press access though!
I have no idea what his other shows are actually like content wise - never watched them as I’m not a particular fan of his style, just get a bit bored of him constantly over doing the ‘balance’ on Blue Monday.
Really enjoy what Blue Monday do as a whole, but Bloom’s attempts at ‘balance’ his whinging about the chat/social media and the 9000 Office quotes an episode are probably my least favourite part - each to their own though! [Post edited 31 Aug 23:39]

I listen to a lot of podcasts, many which involve politics or opinion, and i genuinely don't know what you mean by " him constantly over doing the ‘balance’ on Blue Monday".
Can you elaborate or give examples as I don't really follow.
I think he's fine, for what it's worth. Though that photo above with someone else with the same name and face - though not haircut - was a bit scary. |  | | |

Not really, bud - I haven’t kept manuscripts 😂
It’s just my personal opinion and preference.
Aye, he’s fine - a good presenter and on Blue Monday he has others around him with very good football knowledge. | | | |

OK, not a quotation, but any kind of gist what you mean because at the moment it's just vibes, and that's no way to explain something. [Post edited 31 Aug 23:43]

Just drop me a DM, Ben.
I joke - I don’t feel the need to go into specifics, don’t want it to seem like I’m digging the fella out, I know how hard it is to talk on camera and he’s clearly a very good presenter and he’s surrounded himself with guys with really great football knowledge who do give balanced opinions without labouring it- Ben’s style just personally isn’t to my taste and often find him a bit difficult watch compared to the others on what on the whole is a fantastic production.
All that being said- I’d still rather watch a Ben Bloom episode of Blue Monday than any other ITFC pod (maybe with the exception of TWTDTV, enjoyed what they did last season) | | | |

No, mate - I’m very much aware of why I hold the view I do, I just wasn’t expecting to be facing an inquisition about it at 11:58 at night and articulating it is a whole lot of effort that I don’t have right now. 😂
Sorry Ben, love you really. You were great on Road to V. xoxo | | | |

Being asked politely to explain what a very specific choice of words means it's hardly an inquisition. I was just confused what you meant, and still am, that's all. | | | |

That’s fine, mate - you’re just not entitled to an explanation, analysis and/or breakdown - especially at this time of night.
It’s totally fine that you hold a different opinion.
Any one know what sparked the OP? Or was it seemingly random? [Post edited 1 Sep 0:05]

He's a top bloke, great singer and keyboard player. Gets paid for his well established coverage of the championship. Doesn't live in Ipswich anymore for work reasons but I will happily defend this guy to the death |
I 100% agree, I've listened to Blue Monday since its inception and bumped into Ben in the car park at Barnsley in 2023. He's as genuine a Town fan as they come.
The wider Bloom family had Norwich connections (I used to live next door to some of them in Mildenhall in the early '80s) but Ben's the real deal from a blue perspective. |  |

No genuine question, seems to cover a lot of teams... Never seen him at away games either. [Post edited 31 Aug 20:47]

He's usually at Carrow Road when we're away. Seats next to Jack and Chris.
A musician, I'm told, where his sixth finger comes in handy on the ivory keys. | | | |

Apologies if any offence caused, (now literal) hangover from Saturday's frustration
I noticed he had covered some other teams games too, so was wondering if he was a generic broadcaster. I did not realise he was itfc through and through. | |

What makes BM work fur me is that each presenter brings their own skill set and personality to the pod.
I listen rather than watch and with a lot of other pods, not necessarily football related, I struggle to distinguish between presenters. They often sound the same. |  |

There was information on here and twitter a few years back that he used to be a Norwich fan? |

I enjoy the BM pods
Ben and all the team are excellent and in the main level headed about most things.
There was a POD in the championship promotion season that after a poor run came across a little negative and I alluded to it on a random post on here. Ben then referenced it back on the POD and seemed a little offended when there was no offence meant. |  | | |

Very much THE local band of that era, new how to make good music with out the seriousness and emo dross that was so popular at the time |
I can confirm that three fifths of that old band are town fans. They've also all miraculously kept their hair (or most if it) [Post edited 1 Sep 8:14]

I looked up jacknife horsebox last night just for the nostalgia. Made me realise how mad the singer actually was. There was a video on YouTube interviewing him and the guitarist and added some clips of them live...absolutely crazy music | | | |
